Analysis: McCain's Ad Campaign

The thought of an inexperienced Barack Obama leading the free world because of his Britney Spears and Paris Hilton celebrity like status (short on substance, independent thought, and skirt) is not that important to a pop culture addicted nation.

Key issue points were lost by the cameo of air-headed celebutards. YouTube - Celeb. Paris Hilton responded with her own videomocking McCain. (Payback is a...well, you know the rest. I'll save it for Ludicrous to finish the phrase).The ironic thing
 is Paris' energy plan seems to be more substantive than Obama's plan. McCain's campaign picked up on that as well.

Another McCain ad "The One" concludes with the announcement that "He (Obama) may be the one" (that is a concession, albeit factitious) "But is he ready to lead?" Well, obviously, if he is "The One" he is ready to lead...based merely on being "The One." Who writes this stuff?

A couple of weeks ago the McCain campaign aired an ad titled "Obama Love." It displayed how the media is obviously in the tank for Obama. The ad featured clips of media personalities fawning over Obama, "journalists," and pundits, some in tears, and some disturbingly describing a thrill running up his leg. These praises ran the full length of the ad. Is Rick Davis secretly working for the Obama campaign?

The point of how unwarranted and nauseating these Obama accolades are will be lost on many. It will certainly reinforce what the Obamaphiles are saying about their chosen one. Is McCain's ad campaign fumbling? They can recover with a firmer grip on the following issues:

The Energy crisis, the Economy crisis, National security (which doesn't start and end with Iraq & Afghanistan), Health Care, and Patriotism. That's right Patriotism, a concept that should be dear to ALL Americans; A concept that every American should demand in a presidential candidate.

Great article. I have to laugh at the dim bulbs who have a Che flag up at BO's Texas HQ. Che was a murdering thug friend of Fidel's. I visited Che's monument in Cuba and his grave, and I wanted to puke. McCain is an across the aisle kind of guy. We can only hope he stands firm on national defense and the Supreme Court nominees, if any. Beyond that, he is Bush III.

I feel like I live under a rock. I've seen and heard very few campaign ads. Maybe I've tuned them out. None that I've seen have impressed me yet. - Fine article!

Well written interpretation of McCain's ad campaign!

AMEN! You make so many excellent points. The commercials also left me dumbfounded. Obama plays the race card more than anyone, which I find ironic considering that America clearly has NO PROBLEM voting for a black guy. Another excellent piece!

I agree that McCain's campaign is pathetically weak but I disagree with you on what the campaign SHOULD be. McCain can't afford to launch a negative campaign when Obama has such a positive one. The truth is that there are more than enough of us on the net and the airwaves exposing Obama for the fraud that he is that McCain doesn't need to do anything.
